Col. John 8. Mosby.

New YORK, January 29.-Col. John 8.
Mosby was at the Fifth-avenue Hotel to-
day, en- route to Boston. He talked very
freely to reporters. He said among other
things: II think Roscoe Conkling the
greatest man to-day in America. What q
president he would make! I know him
personally. That fact has enhanced my
respect for his SURPRISING ability and tran.
scending craftsmanship. He is the kind of
statesman the Republican party should
be proud OF. l am settled in San
Francisco, the first place landed at in
America. My stay East thus far has been
at Washington. have been looking over
the archives OF the War Department., rre-
pairing an article on the battle of Gettys-
burg. l discovered facts that will be a
revelation about that battle. will throw
a bombshell into the army of historians
and explode all the stories hitherto given
about that battle. Thus far those who
have written on the subject have failed to
give the true history of the campaign. Ny
article will bring forth facts that will
startle good many who are pretty much
settled in their convictions. 1t will not be
sensational at all, but it will be like throw
ing dynamite under all the theories that
have hitherto been advanced about that
memorable battle"

The International Hotel in FlaA
Lives Lost.
HELENA, February 1.-At 3 O'Clock tn
morning fire broke out in the annex to
the International Hotel. and it will be en-
tirely consumed. The main structure is
connected across Bridge street with
wooden bridge, and unless this can be torn
down it is feared the main building will
also be burnt. Efforts are now being made
to destroy the bridge by powder. Many
guests barely escaped with their lives, and
several were injured by jumping from the
upper windowe. One man, recently
arrived from the Gregory mines
jumped from the second story
window, leaving $500 in cash and his
clothing.behind. He wag also quite badly
hurt in making the leap. Many OF the
members OF the legislature occupied rooms
in the, annex and were all hustled out in
safety. General alarm has been turned in
and considerable excitement prevails. All
who occupied the building have
now been accounted for, and
it is thought no lives were lost.
The fire originated in butcher shop on
the ground floor, from some unknown
cause. The loss will be fully $4,000 il
the fire is confined to the annex, but if the
main building is consumed the loss will
reach fully $4,000.
LATER-3 a. m. Fire under control and
confined to the annex which with the
butcher shop underneath is q total loss.

BosroN, February 1.-The police last
night made raid on house in Chelsea, in
which was found several thousand dollars
worth of stolen property. A gang of coun.
terfeiters inhabiteng the premises were ar.
rested. The following persons were taken:
Gaitano Russo, aged 4S; Baldasari Bosco,
aged 40, and Rosa Perinini, aged 27; all
Italians. The house was found full OF
money, jewelry, diamonds, watches, ETC.,
valued at many thousand dollars, also an
immense lot OF silver bullion, and the most
complete set of counterfeiter's parapher-
MALTA ever captured
Those arrested are part OF gang Of
codncerfeiters who. for nearly - year past.
have baffied the police OF Boston and sew
eral suburban towns. All the leading dry
goods and fancy goods houses OF this city
have been losers by accepting the spurious
coin. Officer Smith, acting under orders
from Chief Shelley, arrested Rosa Perinini
in Cheever Newhall's store on Broadway,
Chelsea, last evening, as she was in the act
of
PASSING SPURIOUS COIN.
Her residence was searched and the plum
der found. While the officers were en-
gagged in the search two men came into the
house, but on seeing the police fled. They
were pursued and captured. They were
Russo and Bosco.
All are Italians. They have occupied the
house where the booty was found only
about three months. but lived for six
previous to that in Miller place,
off Wadsworth street, in the same city.
Among the articles found in the house were
two bank books, with deposits of $4,000,
all made within the last year. The police
think the three arrested are only a portion
OF an organized gang, and that they have
confederates in Boston and vicinity. In
one room OF the house which the officers
searched there was 5000 in silver found
found scattered about in old cups, tobacco
pouches, tin cans and other articles. Some
Of this was good and some was counter
felt.
